NASHVILLE FRIED BISCUITS

2 2/3 pkg dry yeast
1/2 cup warm water
1 quart milk, room temperature
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup lard or shortening
6 tsp salt
9 cups flour

Dissolve yeast in 1/2 cup warm water. Add other ingredients and let dough rise.

Work into biscuits (roll out and cut). When you work them up don't let them rise to much.

Drop into hot fat. The fat should be slightly higher than 350 degrees F. If fat is too hot the biscuits will be soggy in the center.

They can be frozen and stored.

Makes about 6 dozen biscuits
